Nuno's Lounge - New Bedford

Nuno’s has been at this location for 4 years but only recently discovered it via a coworker. Access off the highway is easy although parking can be a challenge.The restaurants ambience is cozy and inviting due to low lighting, warm colors and friendly staff.Nuno, the owner, was a former bartender at Traneira restaurant in Westport, MA and owned the Porta’s de Cidade also in Westport.The menu has your traditional Portuguese fair while adding some dishes with a traditional twist.We had the little neck clams in both the wine and garlic and Spanish style with a tomato broth. Both were great when coupled with a Portuguese bread roll for dipping.We ordered the traditional Portuguese steak plate house style with rice, fries and fried eggs. Now keep in mind some typical Portuguese restaurants serve a flattened, tenderized steak but Nuno’s serves a thicker sirloin steak.I have to praise the cooks for being able to correctly get the steaks to a medium rare. Many portuguese restaurants seem to only cook well done no matter what you ask for so they did a great job.We finished our dishes off with some Lancers Portuguese wine. It’s the classic budget wine with a great taste and decent buzz.Overall the restaurant, people, atmosphere was a great addition to my list of go to Portuguese restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Our first visit and we were greeted by the owner and were told a 40 min wait, it was a Sat.night and busy. Shortly after he came and arranged a table for us. The food had great flavor and staff was Very good! Will visit again!

Delicious martinis, 2 flavorful dishes, and a very yummy tiramisu. I had the special which was Scallops and Shrimp with Mozambique and pasta. Mmm. Amazing sauce and fresh scallops! Our waitress was so friendly and provided excellent service.

Place is overall a great place. The parking situation sucks but that's new Bedford for you. The service is awesome I've never had a bad experience with anyone working there and the only reason the food isn't 5 stars is because for every 10 steaks I get I usually get 1 that's a bit chewy but it's not from the cook it's just the way the steak was cut by the butcher, really fatty....highly recommend this place you won't regret it

Best portuguese food around hands down. Service, atmosphere, food selection with quality ingredients, great wine selection. Keep up the great quality Nuno!!
